Tator Tots Casserole

I am not a big fan of casserole nor canned green beans, but this turned out good. I just simply can't follow recipe exactly. I have to tweak it. So this one is tweaked version of my sister-in-law's (actually, her mother-in-law). It's a simple quick meal. My super picky 3-year-old ate a lot of it!

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained
1 can French style green beans, drained
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup milk
2 tsp soy sauce
dash of ground pepper
1-1/2 cup french fried onions
About 2 cups tator tots, frozen

Preheat oven at 350 degree F. In a medium bowl, mix ground beef, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, ground pepper, and 1 cup of french fried onions. Spread the mixture in an oven-safe 2 qt size pan or 8x8 pan. Fill the top with tator tots. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle the rest of french fried onions, and bake additional 5 minutes till french onions are crispy. It makes about 4 servings.
